A question about religion and politics

I've read here several times, that due to their support Evangelicals aren't christian. White Catholics voted overwhelmingly anti-dem, should we consider that group no longer christian as well?



Those are the numbers.

I should ask the same question about Mormons as well.

As for your question my reaction is never to say Republicans Christians are not Christians. I do see hypocrisy in their supporting Trump and I will call them out on this.

granted, it's not the 80%, but it's still a major tilt.

And I appreciate that you don't join in with that "Not Christian" thing, it cheapens everyone, and is an insult to heathens everywhere.
